After sysprep and deployment Windows update is off? Help please.

[clivebuckwheat]

Windows update are on in my master image. I have no idea why they are off after sysprep is run on a machine that is being deployed.

Is there a way I can turn them on with a time of 6:00a.m, via the setupcomplete.cmd?

There are the registry tweaks to apply the configuration you want.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000004
"IncludeRecommendedUpdates"=dword:00000001
"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000001
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000006
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000000
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
"AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000000
"RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:00000030
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001

Thanks,

But unfortunately those tweaks did not turn on the Windows Updates.

are you sure you have saved those tweaks in a file .reg and them execute them as administrator in a running windows, tehy work well.

in an unattended windows, you can add a command (regedit /s %path%\file.reg) in the file setupcomplete.cmd, they will work well as those regsistry tweaks are for HKLM. anyway i attach you the .reg file

AutoUpdate.reg
